- Please! Somebody! Anybody!
-
- Since getting my IIgs, I have NOT been able to print from any GS/OS
- printer drivers onto A4 paper (8" X 11.6"). Setting the pagelength at
- the setup box does not work: the paper always formfeeds to the page
- length set in the printer's rom (8.5" X 11"). There is no option on my
- printer's dipswitches to set it to A4 pagelength, only 11" and 12" long
- paper.
-
- I'd love to use AppleWorks GS, GraphicWriter III, but I can't print to
- it! It's driving me nuts!
-
- I've seen ImageWriters successfully handle A4 paper when linked to
- Macintoshes, so I know it can be done!
-
- I never had such problems in the 8 bit world, where with programs like
- AppleWorks 3, I could either manually set the pagelength via the options
- menu and telling Appleworks not to send formfeeds. Or I could send an
- init string of <ESC>H1680, which would tell the printer to set its
- formlength to 11.6". This way, AppleWorks could use formfeeds.
-
- It must be a simple case of patching the printer driver to send a
- <ESC>H1680 command to the printer...
-
- Please, anybody HEEELLPPP!!!
